Barrel markings no longer visible, no other external markings visible other than the serial number under the barrel and the sub-inspection "P" on the triggerguard.

Mr. Ness' notes mention that the revolver came from Dennis Darrington who supposedly acquired it Detroit Lakes, MN. His notes as a further reference Volume 4 #3 of the Museum of the Fur Trade Quarterly, but the magazine is not included and is not readily available to investigate the reference. A nice looking, untouched and near relic condition Remington that may be a leftover relic from the forces sent to quell the Sioux uprising in Minnesota during 1862 if the acquisition location is correct.
